2025年8月份見識之旅縮影 　　2025年8月3日由呂明澐小姐帶領27位見習生及其家長們，至北投進行陽明山藍寶石泉秘境暨北投文史之旅。首站來到陽明山，在導覽員的引領下，眾人沿著天母古道緩步前行。途中，導覽員拿出了幾顆小磁鐵，邀請大家試著放在一旁的岩壁上，見習生們依言嘗試後，驚喜發現磁鐵竟能吸附其上，原來是此處由大屯火山群產生的安山岩具含鐵礦物，故可和磁鐵相吸，導覽員也進一步說明地質作用產生安山岩質地緻密的特性，亦構成草山水道系統的天然優勢——因雨水滲入地層後，經過砂石層層過濾再從岩縫噴湧而出，水質潔淨且礦物質含量適當，無須經過特殊處理便可直接飲用。途經兩百多道階梯後，眾人終於抵達草山水道第三水源所在的安山岩石屋「湧泉台」，導覽員解釋是因湧泉台的安山岩材質含有紫蘇角閃石與輝石角閃石，在光線折射下，才使泉水透出猶如藍寶石般的瑰麗色彩。隨後，大家紛紛取出自備的水瓶，到一旁的水龍頭裝盛泉水，迫不及待地品嚐地底孕育出的清甜滋味，並與隨身攜帶的開水進行比較，細細感受其中口感的差異。藍寶石泉在湧泉台中熠熠生輝，而透過導覽解說與實際品味，眾人不僅欣賞到這處百年水源的澄澈之美，更深刻體會它背後所承載的歷史與故事。 　　For the study tour of August 3, 2025, Ms. Lu Ming-yun led 27 ARF interns and their parents on a trip to explore Yangmingshan's Sapphire Spring and Beitou's cultural history. Along Tianmu Historic Trail in Yangmingshan, the tour guide offered everyone some magnets and the interns were surprised those magnets could stick to the rock wall. Everyone learned that andesite rock formed by Datun Volcano Group contains iron, which attracts magnet. High density of andesite rock gives Caoshan Water System its natural advantage, allowing rainwater to filter through layers of sand and rock. Water gushing out from gaps in the rock is pristine and has mineral content for drinking without special treatment. After walking down more than 200 steps, everyone finally arrived at Yongquan Terrace, which is the third water source for Caoshan Water System. Containing hypersthene and pyroxenite, the spring water gleams blue like sapphire in the sunlight. Everyone eagerly took out their water bottles to fill them with spring water from a tap nearby. Through the tour guide's explanation and actual tasting, everyone learned to appreciate the pristine beauty of the century-old water, and to understand the history and story behind it. 　　中午時分，眾人前往草山行館用餐。草山行館建於日治時期，最初是台灣糖業株式會社的招待所，後來為迎接日本皇太子而修建的行館；國民政府遷台後，蔣中正總統曾將其作為臨時總統官邸使用，並曾在此接待包括麥克阿瑟將軍在內的多位外國政要。雖歷經時代更迭，館內外仍保留濃厚的日式風貌。如今，草山行館已由台北市政府整修為藝文沙龍，常舉辦展覽並設有餐廳，成為兼具歷史與文化的新地標。此行大家不僅在此享用午餐，也在導覽員的帶領下參觀館內陳設，聆聽文物故事，進一步理解草山行館在今日的文化價值。 　　Everyone proceeded to Grass Mountain Chateau for lunch around noon. Built during the Japanese Occupation, it was originally Taiwan Sugar Corporation's private club and was later used to formally welcome Japan's crown prince. When the KMT government relocated to Taiwan, President Chiang Kai-shek once used it as a temporary presidential office and received many foreign dignitaries, including General MacArthur. Despite the changing times, the building has retained its Japanese-style appearance. Today, it serves as Taipei City Government's art venue. It frequently hosts exhibitions and has a restaurant, making it a new landmark of history and culture. Everyone viewed exhibits and listened to stories about the relics, further understanding its cultural value in modern day. 　　下午前往富含歷史氛圍的北投文物館。該館在日治時期原是當時最豪華的溫泉旅館之一，一晚住宿需六塊錢，而彼時公務員的月薪僅十八塊，可見其高貴與不凡。進入館內後，導覽員分組帶領大家參觀，循序引領探索館中各處空間，詳述該館的歷史與建築特色，包括典雅的「書院造」、充滿懷舊風情的浴池，以及供文人雅士聚會品茗的茶室等。館內的木造結構皆採傳統「無釘工法」，僅以精巧榫接將木材牢牢扣合，現場更提供木製道具，讓大家親自體驗拼接過程，兩塊木頭在無一根釘子的情況下嚴絲合縫，令人嘖嘖稱奇。至此，本日活動已近尾聲，大家一起合照留念後搭車返程，這次的參訪讓見習生及家長們從陽明山的火山地質條件，貫串由日治溫泉到戰後北投的文史特色，並期待下次見識之旅能再次體驗兼具自然與人文之美的台灣風貌。 　　In the afternoon, everyone visited Beitou Museum, which used to be one of the most luxurious hot spring hotels during the Japanese Occupation. A night's stay costed $6 when the monthly salary of a civil servant was only $18 at that time. Historical and architectural features of the museum include the elegant "shoin-zukuri" style, a nostalgic bathing pool, and the tearoom where the literati gathered and enjoyed tea. Wooden structures within the museum are built using traditional Japanese wood joinery whereby pieces of wood are joined together without using nails. Wooden tools were provided on-site for everyone to try this woodworking technique. As the day's activities came to an end, everyone gathered for a group photo. Interns and their parents learned about Yangmingshan's volcano and geological conditions, hot spring during the Japanese Occupation and Beitou's post-war historical and cultural characteristics. It is hoped that the next tour will be another experience of Taiwan's beautiful nature and culture.
